Answer:

It would be 126(B)

How does central retina differ from peripheral retina differ?
Musya8 [376]
When an ophthalmologist uses an ophthalmoscope to look into your eye he sees the following view of the retina

In the center of the retina is the optic nerve, a circular to oval white area measuring about 2 x 1.5 mm across. From the center of the optic nerve radiates the major blood vessels of the retina. Approximately 17 degrees (4.5-5 mm), or two and half disc diameters to the left of the disc, can be seen the slightly oval-shaped, blood vessel-free reddish spot, the fovea, which is at the center of the area known as the macula by ophthalmologists.
